HC Deb 08 May 1889 vol 335 c1418
*MR. BRADLAUGH (Northampton)

I wish, Sir, to make a correction in a statement made by myself in Committee in the discussion upon the Vote for the Home Department with reference to Mr. Rickards the Factory Inspector of Leeds. That gentleman considers that I did not deal fairly with him. He states that he is only just over 70 years of age, and not between 73 and 74 as I intimated in my statement, and, as an evidence that he is able to do his work efficiently, he informs me that he was up at a quarter to 6 o'clock on the morning of the day on which I was speaking and that he visited seventeen Jewish workshops in order to obtain evidence for the Royal Commission on Sweating. As he is unable to make that statement here I thought it only justice to him that I should make it.
